This will also ultimately mean that these plugins will run with Maven 3.3

if someone still uses an older version and Java 6 to build their projects.

If someone still uses Java 6, they have to stay with Maven <3.3 as v3.3+
requires Java 7. For plugins that now bump to Java 7 requirement they have
to stay with current plugin versions. So if we currently have a sever issue
in a plugin we should probably release a bug fix for thay before going Java
7. Just to be kind to our users.

Well, upgrading plugins would basically freeze all Maven version before 3.3. Maintaining bug fix branches for plugins will only work as long as dependencies are still on Java 6.



That's the big question I'd like clarify first.
Commons Compress has gone Java 7 in a minor release and people are
requesting
it for Plexus Archiver...

How would we handle this wrt versions of our plugins when the
requirements
for those are bumped from Java 6 to Java 7?

For example, maven-jar-plugin has plexus-archiver as a dependency.
m-jar-p
v3.0.2 requires Java 6. Is a bump to v3.1.0 enough for going to Java 7?

Hi folks,

five months ago I asked about Java 7 upgrade of Plexus Archiver [1]
and
received no reaction. I will move to a new major and integrate
Plamen's
changes.

Additionally, he was so kind to work on Plexus IO too and remove all
pre
Java 7 code [2]. I will raise major too and merge his changes.

This will effectively will change a lot of our codebase to Java 7.

If I won't receive any profound objection, the PRs will be merged.

Michael
